O'Reilly Describes His Anti-Choice Stance As 'Protecting The Kids'

On January 23, 2013, Bill O'Reilly read an email from a woman reacting to his segment on late-term abortion (in which he once again defamed Dr. George Tiller). In response to the woman's criticism of men interfering with women's reproductive choices, O'Reilly scolded: My job is to protect the kids and I will continue to do it.

In his email segment, O'Reilly read an email from “Cindy, I'm withholding your last name, lives in Connecticut:”

O'Reilly, you men have no business telling any woman she can't have an abortion.

O'Reilly responded:

The subject was New York State allowing abortions for pretty much any reason in the third trimester, Cindy. If, like Governor Cuomo, you support that, you'd better hope, you'd better hope there's no Judgment Day. My job is to protect the kids and I will continue to do it.

O’Reilly thinks rape victims “ask for it,” and loves to go after women at every turn- Including that he has more venom in his voice talking about lesbians than male gays.

I have also never- not once- seen him “protect the kids” on any other issue that involves them. He doesn’t care about safer play areas, he doesn’t care about better education, he doesn’t care about pediatric health… when something’s newsworthy in these areas, he sides with the person hurting the child. Every time.

If O’Reilly can muster up enough honesty to admit that his sole interest in the abortion/contraception issue is that it’s a front for him to try “putting women in their place” without being called a misogynist, I’ll only bother him again the next time he goes “x” amount over the line, because at least he’s admitting it.

Until then, his so-called academic record is just another lie, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve seen him behave, but I’ve never seen him be as intelligent as they claim.

Sandman; how is that a contradiction? I didnt say I dislike ALL women because some have children to collect governement money. i said I dislike women who have children to collect government money. In no way did I condemn ALL women with that statement.

First, both of those “statements” were YOU’RE words-not mine.
Second, if you can find the word “ALL” in MY statement I’d be happy to appologize.
Lastly, everyone else understood your “contradiction” very clearly and you’re lack of understanding does not help your argument.

You claim incessantly that you want a “debate” but you actually behave like a pre-radio speaker standing on a kitchen stool or soapbox at Hyde Park Corner: declamatory, eyes and especially ears closed tight. The sort of thing one does simply to get a reaction, any sort of reaction as proof that one actually exists.

If I remember my Dr. Spock of anon, that sort of attention-seeking is typical of the age group he called the “terrible twos”, i.e., infants who, being pretty much ignored by their parents, will misbehave in order simply to be noticed … at the cost of being punished. Any attention is better than no attention at all. Time to grow up, lad.

U troll. yes, you are pathetic. Resorting to calling someone psycho, hatefilled and a murderer because you fail to convince them that they need to see things your way, is pathetic. For the last time…abortion is not murder. As Tom Wilson says, if you try someone for murder for having an abortion, you will lose your case.

What is it about the law that you don’t understand, U troll? You can scream murder all you want, it doesn’t matter. In fact, scream yourself to death. I really don’t care. Abortion is not murder.

Im pathetic? You’re the one trying to justify child murder by calling it another name. It is what it is. They are children. You can call it the technical name all day, but it doesnt change the fact that they are children. If your wife was 7 months pregnant and someone stabbed your child through her stomach, killing him/her would you shrug it off as ok because it was just a fetus? Should that person be charged with murder or just assault?

Again, you use different wording to justify it for yourself. Pathetic is defending child murder. Pathetic is saying its ok to murder them because you use a technical name for them.

You have been given the definition of “child”. You have been given the definition of “baby”. And you have been given the definition of “fetus”. Either you’re too ignorant to grasp those definitions or you refuse to admit that you are wrong.

And your attempt at trying to label me as a psycho or twisted or hatefilled just because I offer you definitions to support my view, and I refuse to agree with your ignorant views, is pitiful. Honestly, I expected a little more from a troll who tries to pretend that he’s smarter than everyone else in the room.

I can’t help it if you’re too ignorant to grasp the concept that abortion is not murder and a fetus is not a child. You are pathetic.

@u troll, a fetus is a fetus. It is not a child. A fetus growing inside a woman is not a child. It is a fetus. A fetus inside a cat’s uterus is not a kitten. It is a fetus. A fetus growing inside a dog is not a puppy. It is a fetus. A fetus growing inside a horse is not a pony. It is a fetus. A fetus growing inside a whale is not a calf. it is a fetus. A fetus is an unborn or unhatched vertebrate. Is this all making sense to you? A fetus is not a child, kitten, puppy, pony, or calf.

And so you think that because a woman doesn’t say “im having a fetus” means it’s not a fetus? She would be biologically and scientifically correct if she said “I’m carrying a fetus.” Once the fetus reaches full term and comes out of the uterus, then it is a baby.

Still not getting it? Try this: A child is a young person between infancy and youth. A baby is an extremely young person from birth up to an infant. Abortion is not murder. A fetus is not a child. Aborting a fetus is not killing a child.

A fetus is not a child? What is it then? A kitten? Ive never heard a woman say “im having a fetus”.

You dont want to call it a child because then you would have to admit that you support killing children; which you do. When they pull out a baby thats 6 months along and shove a pair of scissors in the back of his/her neck thats killing a child.

And I have never claimed to speak for all conservatives. Again, you people lie and make things up to make your point. Hint: when you have to lie to make your point you dont really have one.

@sandman 2 – "Kinda contradict yourself @umad with previous remarks of condemning the many for the acts of the few. "

Not only that, U Troll says that one pig (Lardass Limpbag) does not speak for the entire party, but then U troll himself claims to speak for all conservatives and claims he knows what all conservatives want.

Hey U Mad — do you have a uterus? If not, you don’t have a dog in this fight. As for women who “intentionally” have children to collect more welfare, you’ve obviously never had to live on welfare. The Welfare Queen is one of the odest political myths going.

Sandman; how is that a contradiction? I didnt say I dislike ALL women because some have children to collect governement money. i said I dislike women who have children to collect government money. In no way did I condemn ALL women with that statement.

Visitor; If you’re going to make a claim that someone did something then its up to you to provide proof to back up your claim. If you choose not to then so be it; I dont believe you and this pretty much validates my doubt.

First, you said you’d never heard of a neocon/teabagger calling children moochers. I point out to you that your hero Lardass Limpbag did. Stop being a lazy little troll and look it up for yourself. Go to his Rotundness’ archives and look it up. I’m not here to do your dirty work, troll.

Oh, and by the way, your hero Lardass Limpbag does speak for your entire party. He’s said so himself that he speaks for your entire party. In fact, he forms all your opinions for you.

Vile Bile (Father Flanigan) self appointed savior of all children born and unborn,never seems to be outraged by the terroristic actions inflicted upon young children by the good priests,in fact it has never ever even been brought up on the “Factor Comedy Hour”,I find this somewhat suspicious.So abortions are criminal but,raping defiling and terrorizing young children is okay with Vile Bile,what an hypocrite.
